GAVIN NEWSOM'S OPENING SHOT FOR A PRESIDENTIAL RUN

The God-Emperor of the formerly great state of California, Gavin Newsom, is calling a special session of the state legislature to deal with what he calls unreasonably high gas prices and price gouging.  It should be remembered he worked hard AGAINST a measure to temporarily drop off California's second-highest-in-the-nation fuel taxes even though the state has a massive budget surplus.  Several states have suspended their gas taxes this summer, including both New York and Maryland.

The special session will be called in December to create a windfall profits tax to "punish" the oil companies for "price gouging." 

California is starting this week to send out a rebate to CA taxpayers.  (I will get a whole $200.)  This way the population will get money that appears to be coming directly from the governor.  

Right now the Democrat-Socialist party in CA has a super-majority in both houses of the state legislature and can pass pretty much any legislation they want.
